We once had a local source, which carried two different timbers, both called "Texas Ebony", both incredibly dense, both impossibly hard, but both quite different from each other. One was reddish-black, the other greenish-brown.
Either would work admirably in this application.
Bro, which one do you have?

This timber is reddish brown. Its the plank I picked up near nacogdoches (did I spell that right) when we were wood prospecting at that little hardwood store with the enormous dogs
